Are you using an application using SMO .dlls written in a language like VC# or VB ( 2008 or 2010 ) or if you are using Powershell ( more exactly sqlps.exe ) ?The compatibility with SQL Server 2000 is depending of the version of your SMO .dlls.2000 is supported by SMO 2005,2008,2008 R2 ( but a little advice , avoid 2005 which does not supports PowerShell and SMO 2005 is a little rotten )for 2008 R2 see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sqlserver.management.smo.compatibilitylevel(v=SQL.105).aspxBut for SQL Server 2012 ( ex Denali ), according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sqlserver.management.smo.compatibilitylevel(v=SQL.110).aspx , no SQL Server version former 2005 is supported, so no compatibility with SQL Server 2000So the compatibility is depending from the SQL Server SMO .dlls versionDon't hesitate to post again for more help or explanationsMon, 28 Nov 2011 02:41:18 GMTpatricklambinUsing SMO for 2000 servershttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1212179-22-1.aspxHi Friends,I would like to know how can I take full advantage of SMO scripting on SQL Server 2000 too.I have a working script of SMO for 2005 servers. I know that DMO is the one for 2000, but I believe SMO has a backward compatibility as well?On the other hand, I tried importing SQLDMO dll into the SSIS script task to write separate code for 2000, but SSIS could not utilize its functionality.Thanks in advance :)Sun, 27 Nov 2011 03:05:06 GMTm--S3qU3L
